Interesting, they just changed the rules?

Saw the new rules on the website. You can mail in but you must submit original bank statement or IRAS/CPF statement.....

oh yeah. do pass your SGX quiz. den they will allow you to open account for ETFs

I called SGX yesterday. The CSO said can walk in without appt to apply. If come on Sat morning, expect to wait 30 mins to 1 hour. Also do not go during weekdays lunchtime.

If not in a hurry, she advises to mail in application. I asked if bank e-statements count, she said no. (Thought the website said it's ok)

 

[whiteil]

They do accept bank e-Statements.

Mailed in my application last week. Got a reply with my number this week. Very fast, convenient and hassle free.
